A campaign has been launched for Ray Hadley to be named Australia’s Hottest Radio Hunk 2019.

The push for Ray to be named Take Five magazine’s “wireless wonderboy” was started by… Ray Hadley.

It’s back again! Take 5 want to know who you think is the hottest RADIO HUNK in Australia. They can be a cute young charmer or a smooth-voiced silver fox, and they can be from any station in Australia! Email your pick to take5@bauer-media.com.au #t5radiohunk

After finishing runner-up to WSFM’s Brendan Jones in 2017, Ray is desperate to go one better.

“I was beaten in a photo finish by Jonesy… he just went on Facebook and said vote for me so he had me covered straight away.”

Ray took a look through the other nominees and weighed in on the competition.

Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes – “He’s got a head like a Mongolian trotting duck.”

Kyle Sandilands – “He’d have his admirers.”

Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald – “Fitzy from upstairs is there. 42? He looks 62!”

At 64-years-old, Ray is the equal eldest broadcaster in the final 20 so far, alongside Macquarie Radio colleague Steve Price.

It’s safe to say Ray thinks he has the Night’s host covered.

“I want to withdraw from the competition. If he beats me, I’ll retire!

“Pricey you cute little thing,” laughs Ray.

The winner, who gets a “sexy shoot” in Take 5 magazine, will be announced in August.
